N2 - We present two methods of independently mapping the dimensions of the sensitive volume in an ion-counting nanodosimeter. The first method is based on a calculational approach simulating the extraction of ions from the sensitive volume, and the second method on probing the sensitive volume with 250 MeV protons. Sensitive-volume maps obtained with both methods are compared and systematic errors inherent in both methods are quantified. © 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.
